9 People Who Want You to Remember Clothing Size Is Just a Number

It doesn't matter whether you prefer coffee or tea, pancakes or waffles, or apples or oranges, I think we can all agree on one thing: Clothing sizes are absolute bullsh*t. They're inconsistent from store to store (let's be real, sometimes even within the same store), and they're downright confusing. Not to mention, vanity sizing has made things even more complicated than they were already.

All of this combines to create what is sometimes an awful shopping experience for women. When you don't know what size you are at a given store, you can't really shop online. You have to go to a store in-person and pull a ton of different sizes if you want to have any hope of finding something that fits. Even then, you might end up trying to squeeze into a too-tight pair of pants or feeling swallowed by a dress that's two sizes too big. Shopping can be confusing and annoying—and all those trips to the dressing room take up a bunch of time that could be better spent drinking milkshakes, watching Netflix, or finding a new cat to follow on Instagram.

But several internet users are taking a stand against this absurdity. They know clothing sizes are BS—and they know you know it, too—so they've taken to social media to share their hilarious, unfortunate, or infuriating run-ins with poorly sized clothing.
